Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vanadium dependent bromoperoxidase (VBPO) was cloned from the red alga Laurencia nipponica which produces a halogenated compound, laurencin. The enzyme catalyzed cyclization and bromination of a precursor of laurencin. Bromination activity of recombinant enzyme was investigated. A similar type of VBPO was cloned from L. okamurae which produces a halogenated sesquiterpenoid, laurinterol. The recombinant enzyme showed bromination activity. In addition, another type of VBPO was cloned from L. saitoi which produces a halogenated triterpenoid. Its properties were investigated by using its recombinant protein. The structure of bromoallene containing C15 compound, omaezallene was reported. Its totaly syntehsis was successfully achieved.
